How To Pick A Winner – 2013 Grand National Runners Preview
With 40 runners in each year’s Grand National finding the winner is as much to do with luck as skill. So many runners mean luck in running is going to be at a premium and that’s before you factor in the unique test the Liverpool course has to offer. 30 fences in total must be jumped, some, like Becher’s Brook which is a real test for a horse.

Ten runners go to post for the Matalan Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle and after looking at the race it looks a tough one to crack. This coupled with prices that appear on the skinny side means it’s probably a no bet race.
2012 Scottish Grand National Tips and Preview
Scottish Grand National Preview
This year’s Scottish Grand National comes a week after the main National itself. Run at Ayr over an extended four mile trip, twenty-seven fences need jumping. The flat, slightly sharp nature of the track means horses with the ability to travel have a great advantage. Around here I do like a horse to race up with the pace given the course characteristics and when diving into the formbook proper will hope to find a horse who likes to race prominently.

The FA Cup reaches the semi-final stage this weekend with two local derbies in prospect. Liverpool play Everton on Saturday and while the Reds may be the 6/4 favourites, Everton are the form team. I fancy David Moyes’ side to prevail at 15/8.

Picking your horse – how to find a winner
With 40 runners in each year’s Grand National it’s not exactly easy to get the winner. So many runners mean luck in running is going to be at a premium and that’s before you factor in the unique test the Liverpool course has to offer. 30 fences in total must be jumped, some, like Becher’s Brook, measuring a total of 6ft 9in.

Irish Grand National Betting Tips
Irish Grand National Preview
The highlight of the Fairyhouse Easter card is the Irish Grand National, the last of the marathon chasing events. Dessert Orchid, Commanche Court and Numbersixvalverde are just some of the notable past winners, which today’s field will be hoping to join. Trends of the last ten years very much indicate young up and coming chasers are the way to go. Commanche Court was the last horse to carry more than ten stone when winning back in 2000.

Grand National Ratings and Preview
For betting on the Grand National I go through each entry well before race day and rate them on specific points. For example, if a horse has won over 3 miles, I will assign him a high original rating. If a horse has not, that will be given a much lower value.
